"Follow-Me" Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regularly as you
scan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available chan-
nels) are designated for "Scanning," the user may nonetheless assign Channel 2 as
the "User-assigned" Priority Channel via the "Follow-Me" feature.
To activate "Follow-Me" scanning, first select the channel you want to designate as
the "User-Assigned Priority Channel" and press the assigned programmable key.
Then press the Channel Up/Down key (generally the [ ] / [ ] button) to recall to the
"Scanning Start" channel which has been programmed by your dealer to activate the
scanner. When the scanner stops on an "Active" channel, the User-assigned Priority
Channel will automatically be checked every few seconds; if activity is found on the
User-assigned Priority Channel, the radio will switch between it and the Dealer-As-
signed Priority Channel, if any.

To set up a "Dual Watch" frequency pair using the "Follow-Me" feature, select a
channel using the Channel Up/Down key (generally the [ ] / [ ] button). Now press
the assigned programmable key; pressing the assigned programmable key locks the
current channel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now press the Channel Up/
Down key to select another channel (not the "Scanning Start" channel). Your radio
will now switch back-and-forth between the currently-selected channel and the User-
assigned Priority Channel.
During "Follow-Me" scanning (after you have pressed the key), you can set up the
"Dual Watch" feature by pressing the Channel Up/Down key to another channel. The
radio will then scan back and forth between the original User-assigned Priority Channel
and the newly-selected channel.
The Priority Channel you have assigned (before pressing the key) will be retained in
memory until you change it.
